The Witcher 3’s New DLC Is Quietly Hiding a Major Sequel Clue in Plain Sight

by

CD Projekt Red has released only one key image for their upcoming “Songs of the Past” DLC, but fans have noticed something strange within the artwork that could suggest future developments for the Witcher series. It’s possible a significant hint about the story of The Witcher 4 has been subtly revealed.

Honestly, when I first heard there might be more content for The Witcher 3, I kinda laughed. The game came out way back in 2015! But then the rumors started popping up, and leaks kept appearing online. Turns out they were true! CD Projekt Red just announced Songs of the Past, a brand new DLC coming in 2027. It’s super cool that they’re working with Fool’s Theory on it – they’re the same team making the Witcher remake, so they clearly know what they’re doing.

The Witcher 3 Songs Of The Past Has A Strange Number Of Swords

CD Projekt Red hasn’t revealed much about what’s included in the “Songs of the Past” DLC, but the title hints it might explore events from before the main game, perhaps through Geralt experiencing flashbacks or visions. Players have also pointed out something unusual when comparing it to previous downloadable content.

The cover art for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s DLCs shows Geralt with a changing number of swords. He holds one sword on the Hearts of Stone cover, two on Blood and Wine, and three on Songs of the Past – a fitting progression since Songs of the Past is the third expansion.

Many fans hoped for a fourth piece of downloadable content for The Witcher 3, especially since the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions felt like a pair. However, information about a potential expansion called Songs of the Past suggests it was meant to connect things to the next game. Ultimately, there won’t be a fourth DLC; the developers are moving on to The Witcher 4.

Geralt Might Be Holding An Important Sword

Viewers have pointed out that the sword Geralt is holding in the Songs of the Past art looks very similar to the one Ciri wields. However, it’s not identical – a closer look reveals some design differences in the sword’s handle.

The upcoming story, Songs of the Past, might show Geralt finding a powerful new sword. However, he could end up giving it to Ciri, who then has it modified to fit her own fighting skills. This could symbolize Geralt’s retirement from being a monster hunter and passing on his legacy to Ciri, who would then take on the role of protecting people.
